Own regional pipeline performance: Drive the SDR team’s contribution to pipeline generation across inbound and outbound channels, ensuring strong alignment with EMEA sales targets.
Build and scale the team: Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing SDR team, helping establish the structure, operating cadence, and performance standards for the EMEA region.
Coach and develop SDRs: Deliver hands-on coaching through regular 1:1s, call reviews, and deal strategy sessions to accelerate rep development and performance.
Design onboarding and enablement: Partner with GTM enablement to create onboarding and ongoing training programs that ramp SDRs quickly and build strong product, industry, and prospecting expertise.
Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and RevOps to improve lead routing, campaign effectiveness, and pipeline conversion.
Refine targeting and messaging: Continuously test and improve outbound strategies, messaging, and account targeting based on ICP fit and performance insights.

Proven success in building and managing pipeline-generating teams in a high-growth, outbound-focused environment.
Deep understanding of modern sales development tools (e.g., Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong).
A data-driven mindset with the ability to analyze team performance, uncover insights, and iterate quickly.
